Sound designer and producer of Sonya
Marine is an artist-author, sound designer and musician. She composes universes studded with various sounds, borrowed from the fantastic and the absurd. The recording changes the real and its diffusion too. Her practice is punctuated by collaborations, improvisation, orality and music.
Author and producer of Sonya
Christophe is a professor at the University of Strasbourg and director of the Centre Universitaire d'Enseignement du Journalisme de Strasbourg. He has published several books including Le documentaire radiophonique (Ina-L'Harmattan, 2013). He is also a radio writer, notably for France Culture and RTBF. He is president of the radio commission of the Société des Gens de Lettres.
Multitask and producer of Sonya
Audrey likes to capture the sounds of the forest, the stories of those around her, the people who doubt and growl. With four girlfriends, she created and hosted a pre-#metoo feminist cultural show on Radio Campus Grenoble. Since then, she listens to podcasts and sometimes tries her hand at sound production. For Sonya, she records, coordinates, gives voice, communicates, does stuff on in the Internet, writes.
Graphic designer, artist and programmer
Marjorie usually defines herself as a person from the image world. Trained in graphic design and then self-taught in programming, sound is a great unknown for her, who has always evolved in a world of silence. In Sonya, she is a bit like Amadeus in the movie Sound of Noise, the cop born in a family of musicians who hates music, except that Marjorie is curious and excited by the prospect of exposing herself to sound and experimenting with this new material (and she is not a cop).
